The sky lights up like a butter cup
Filled full with fire flies
Dreaming of days
When they were not slaves
To the cruelty of kids
And I suffer with the thunder
As it rolls across the wind
Winning over the pain
Of being so plain
And I suffer in sorrow
Wishing I could just leave tomorrow
Open the lid of my life
To let those fire flies fly free
Hoping the hurt that now haunts me
Will escape beneath their tiny wings
